Therapies

We endeavour to provide a complete service under one roof for our clients, encouraging them to look after themselves and make the best of their lives within the confines of their condition. Therapy is not available within the Health Service, only in acute cases and then for short periods; it is proven that regular therapy is essential to prevent deterioration and to maintain and improve the condition. The integrated approach with core therapies and complementary therapies being provided under one roof enables people to receive the therapy needed.

Many people with MS are unable to travel easily so attending the Centre regularly for any of the therapies or services has the advantage over travelling to different clinics. Allowing clients to have these for minimal cost encourages regular therapy.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO)

Oxygen is the healing element in the atmosphere and by breathing 100% oxygen under pressure allows the extra oxygen to be absorbed into the tissue. This repairs the damaged tissue before it becomes scarred. It is the scar tissue which prevents messages getting from the brain to the limbs etc. causing disability.

Physiotherapy

The Centre has offered a physiotherapy service for many years which has proved very beneficial to many people suffering with M.S. and other neurological conditions. The goal of the service is to provide the opportunity for people with neurological conditions to receive the benefit of supervised exercise to improve their fitness, balance, flexibility and confidence.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been proven to have a significant effect on pain for example: lower back pain, neck pain, knee pain etc. It is also used within treatment plans for the following conditions: headaches/migraines, stress, anxiety, respiratory conditions, skin conditions, muscle/joint pain, nausea, insomnia, fibromyalgia, arthritis, IBS and many more.

Bowens Therapy

Bowen is a dynamic, remedial body technique, that is extremely gentle and relaxing. It empowers the body’s own healing resources achieving balance and harmony, resulting in fast and lasting relief from pain and discomfort.

Reflexology

In reflexology, certain zones of the feet and sometimes the hand are stimulated by a practitioner. These zones relate to specific organs and parts of the body. Just by feeling the zones, reflexologists can detect problems in other parts of the body. By using finger pressure on specific points, healing is stimulated in affected organs.

Holistic Massage

Holistic massage benefits the whole body, both physiologically and psychologically, however some of the systems are more directly affected, particularly the skin, blood and lymph circulation, and the muscles and nerves.

Counselling

Counselling, at any stage in the disease, can offer an opportunity for people to talk freely about how they feel and what their MS means to them, and maybe understand why they react in a particular way.
